   Yes, I have been told if you stuff the pipe full of sand it might not   
   kink. In the twentyish years I've owned it I was successfully able to   
   use it on one job to make a very slight offset in some two inch conduit   
   for running a fiber optic cable. Just a few degrees and even then if you   
   look closely, you can see that it started to kink. In any case, the   
   fiber optic cable was run and the school is connected.   
      
   I haven't really used it much in probably ten years. I've thought about   
   getting rid of it a dozen times because it just takes up space on the floor.   
      
   The other day a buddy of mine asked me if I could straighten a bow in   
   his boat trailer cause by pushing through a giant hole in a back country   
   boat ramp. The pipe die made a fantastic guide to keep the chain in   
   place on top of the jack.   
      
   I wish I had thought to take a picture of what it looked like before.
